  • Staffordshire University Access Agreement 2018-19
    STAFFORDSHIRE UNIVERSITY ACCESS AGREEMENT 2018-19 Introduction 1. Staffordshire University has developed an ambitious new statement of its strategy, expressed in its Strategic Plan 2016-2020 approved by the Board of Governors in September 2016. In the section on Connecting Communities, the plan states that the University will: work with our Schools, Colleges and Partners to continue to RAISE ASPIRATIONS and improve progression in the region into Higher Education be connected LOCALLY contributing to local social and economic development and to improve the local education standards of our community offer flexible, inclusive and ACCESSIBLE COURSES supporting study anytime and anywhere. 2. These strong statements of intent direct the University’s approach to widening participation in higher education and to the promotion of social mobility. The refreshed approach is described in this 2018-19 Access Agreement. As the new statement of strategic direction was approved after the 2017-18 Access Agreement was submitted, there have been certain changes of emphasis and balance between this Access Agreement and the previous one. 3. To ensure a coherent high quality experience for all students at each stage of their education, the University has established the Student Journey programme, described in more detail later. It spans the range from outreach and recruitment through transition to University, retention of those recruited, supporting academic success and the development of wider employability attributes leading to employment or further study. These stages fully align with the access, student success and progression dimensions of the OFFA guidance. 4. The University has established a wide network of partner institutions, including local sixth form and further education colleges and through those partnerships is able to provide flexible and diverse routes to higher education.

  • Speed of Execution in Leadership Shake-Ups
    Speed of execution in leadership shake-ups is the secret to M&A success M&A deals have a greater chance of success if acquirers move quickly to install a new leadership team at the target firm, a study shows. Research by Cass Business School found higher rates of deal success among acquirers which rapidly appointed a top team at the target while retaining a large proportion of the operational staff. The findings come from a report by Cass’s M&A Research Centre which reveals a series of fresh insights into improving returns from M&A deals. The study examined a sample of 70 large transactions completed by US and UK acquirers between 2007 and 2011, comparing those which were successful in creating shareholder value with a matched sample of those where shareholder value was destroyed. The findings showed that: Companies which retained operational staff boosted their success rate. Successful deals posted 63 per cent retention rates for operational and business personnel, while in the failed deals group the rate was 46 per cent six months after completion. Successful acquirers were quicker to remove and replace the senior executive team. In the successful group, only 38 per cent of CEOs and 19 per cent of CFOs remained in post six months after completion, compared to 44 per cent and 38 per cent respectively in the failed group. Companies with a greater focus on HR – measured by the existence of an HR committee at board level – are more successful acquirers. There were more than twice the number of HR- specific committees in the successful deal group than in the failure group.

  • Healthcare Management & Services Research
    Healthcare Management & Services Research Incubator Sponsored by the Warwick Business School, Cass Business School and BMJ Leader Location: WBS London (The Shard, SE1 9SG) Date & Time: 9am – 3pm on December 12th 2019 The purpose of the incubator is to help people develop and advance research ideas, with an eventual aim towards publication and communication with broader audiences. The incubator is designed to be inter‐disciplinary, engaging with clinicians and clinical researchers, social scientists, management researchers and more. We believe that research can best facilitate improvement in healthcare systems when it is inter‐disciplinary, and when researchers rooted in one research community or disciplinary perspective are exposed to other research traditions in a way that enables them to communicate their work across boundaries. The incubator is co‐organized by Warwick Business School, City, University of London's Centre for Health Innovation Research, Faculty of Medical Leadership and Management, and BMJ Leader. Plenary speaker: Sara J. Singer, Professor of Medicine and of Organizational Behaviour, Stanford University Mentors: Amit Nigam (Cass Business School, UK) Angela Aristidou (Warwick Business School, UK) Davide Nicolini (Warwick Business School, UK) Nicola Burgess (Warwick Business School, UK) Harry Scarbrough (Cass Business School, UK) Giulia Cappellaro (Bocconi University, Italy) Charitini Stavropoulou (City, University of London, UK) Agenda Thursday, December 12th WBS London campus: 17th floor of The Shard, 32 London Bridge Street, London, SE1 9SG 9:00 Registration and welcome coffee 9:30‐ Welcome and overview of the day from Angela Aristidou (WBS) and Amit Nigam 9:45 (Cass Business School) 9:45‐ Academic ice‐breaker 10:00 We expect most participants to know very little about one another, and this exercise will help you learn more about the other participants, and perhaps discover common research interests.

  • The Centre for Integrated Research Into Musculoskeletal Ageing
    The Centre for Integrated research into Musculoskeletal Ageing The Centre for Integrated research into Musculoskeletal Ageing www.cimauk.org Photograph by Lindsay Mackenzie (2nd Runner Up - Newcastle University Student Competition) The Centre for Integrated research into Musculoskeletal Ageing Introduction Diseases of the musculoskeletal system and age-related decline in function of musculoskeletal tissues (bones, joints, tendons and muscles) are major contributors to loss of independence and poor quality of life in older people. The Centre for Integrated research into Musculoskeletal Ageing (CIMA) is a collaboration between researchers and clinicians at the Universities of Liverpool, Newcastle and Sheffield that brings together complementary and outstanding expertise in skeletal muscle, bone, cartilage and tendon biology, ageing research, nutrition and exercise interventions and clinical excellence in musculoskeletal disorders. The Centre is developing an integrated approach to understanding the processes and effects of ageing in tissues of the musculoskeletal system, how ageing contributes to diseases of the musculoskeletal system and how these processes may be ameliorated or prevented. This Centre of Excellence brings together researchers from 3 leading UK Universities to build on current world-leading research to understand why our bones, joints and muscles function less well as we age and why older people develop clinical diseases of these musculoskeletal tissues, such as arthritis or osteoporosis. The Centre is investigating new ways of preventing the deterioration of the musculoskeletal tissues that occur as we age to help preserve mobility and independence in older people. CIMA was funded by an initial grant of £2.5M from the Medical Research Council and Arthritis Research UK commencing June 2012 together with substantial investment in new posts by the Universities of Liverpool, Newcastle and Sheffield.
